TRoS sads post

[fiachairecht]

Support post for those of us who've seen & are unhappy with TRoS or who have been thoroughly spoiled & are unhappy anyway. Vents/commiserations/fix-it brainstorming/links to fave fix-its etc all welcome. Spoilers will be everywhere in comments.

Rules:

• Be civil. Misogyny, racism, etc will all get you banned from my journal, as will anti-style conflating shipping with morality.


• Spoiler warnings for non-movie materials (e.g. the Rise of Kylo Ren comics) are appreciated but not required. Do not be a dick if someone is less familiar with non-movie materials than you.


• Ship-bashing and policing the ways in which other people ship something are not allowed. People will be sad for different reasons, respect that.


• Title your threads. If you're not interested in what's happening in, say, the post-canon Finn/Poe thread, stay out of it.


• Talking about things you liked is also fine. This post is more to give y'all a space to be upset than to 1000% doom and gloom 1000% of the time.

Anon is on & IP logging is off. I reserve the right to change both/either of those things.

Sidelining Rose

[maplemood]

Camp completely spoiled and unhappy anyway!

Of all the spoilers I've read/heard, this one makes me the angriest; I think it's because I frankly expected them to backtrack and/or goof up when it came to Rey and Ben and their arc, but I wasn't expecting that TROS would do its best to pretend that Rose (and the entire dynamic between Finn & Rose) didn't exist. (Though in hindsight I should have seen it coming.) It leaves a bad taste in my mouth all around; there might be another explanation but the only one I can think of is that after all the crap that Rose (and Kelly!) got before and after TLJ, Disney decided to play it safe, which...ugh. Rose was a wonderful character played by a wonderful actress, and she deserved so much better.

YEAH holy shit. I didn't necessarily expect Finn/Rose to be, like, An Entire B-plot or whatever, but the extent to which Rose basically doesn't exist is just ... Kelly literally gets bullied off the internet by racists and JJ's response is to ... take her as out of the movie as he can without firing her? I didn't realise that her near-total absence from the marketing materials was going to be that much a reflection of her actual movie time and it's grosssssss.
